The APMINUD is a mechanical tool designed to safely detonate antipersonnel landmines as part of a peace time clearance operation. The APMINUD consists of a mobile blast and fragment containment shell, with a mechanical striker inside. It can be used in conjunction with a shielded, all terrain vehicle with crane. The vehicle is used to move and lower the shell over a marked mine location. The in...

Placement of the division site in Escherichia coli is determined in part by three Min proteins. Recent studies have shown that MinE, previously thought to form a static ring near the division site at the midcell position, actually joins MinC and MinD in their rapid oscillation between the cell poles.

The role of phonology in word recognition was investigated in 6 lexical-decision experiments involving homophones (e.g., MAID-MADE). The authors' goal was to determine whether homophone effects arise in the lexical-decision task and, if so, in what situations they arise, with a specific focus on the question of whether the presence of pseudohomophone foils (e.g., BRANE) causes homophone effects...

Strain is an important parameter for assessing the potential impacts resulting from mine subsidence movements. However, strain resulting from mine subsidence is also one of the most difficult parameters to predict accurately. A number of methods can be used to predict strain, from simple empirical relationships, to more complex statistical approaches. This paper looks at some of these predictio...

The black shale of Chimiari region of Khyber Pakthunkhawa Pakistan is sieved for its mineral evaluation of various fractions. Disc Pulverizer made by Mine and Smelter Supply Co. Denver USA used for grinding and Tyler series for sieving to get the required range of fractions. Study showed a gradual decrease in concentration of S iO2, Al2O3, K2O, V2O5 and TiO2 from higher fraction size to lower f...

Let me begin with a convention. I will refer to the distinction between the context of discovery and the context of justification as “the DJ distinction” (where I may note, for potentially misled younger readers, that this “DJ” has nothing to do with the music business). This paper is based on an older paper of mine (Hoyningen-Huene 1987). In the present paper, I will first recapitulate some of...

Sir,?Noting in your comment on Dr. Doshi's letter in the January 1930 issue of the Gazette that you had found the infection among the grass cutters of the Cavalry Regiments in the U. P. in 1909?11. I was struck by your finding as compared with mine in the few notes I made upon the disease in late October 1922. The statistics are from four fairly large collieries which were then under my charge,...
